One Minute Leadership Thought of the Day

11. Most Visions Fail, but yours won’t.

If you want to really focus yourself on, not just a goal, but really creating something you want in your career, a new career, or just something personally for you, you need a Vision, a Mission, and a Strategy.  All three have a specific purpose and ensure you can actually execute on the Vision.  After creating a Vision and even a Mission statement, most fail at executing that Vision or Mission Statement because there is no action behind it.  As Henry Ford said, “you can’t build a reputation ...

10. Why Not You!

Why not you?  What’s the real difference between people who “make it” and people who don’t.  Are they really that much different than you?  I promise you there is someone out there, less talented with less money and less ability doing the things you’d like to do simply because they believed in themselves more than you do.  Let’s talk real about challenges and fear but also what’s truly possible if you go out there and just do the damn thing! What do you really have to loose?  You are already ...

9. Want your team to succeed? Stop correcting them!

I know it sounds counter intuitive, but stop correcting your team.  You only have so much time in the day, the week, the month or the year to influence your team.  Your team will go where you tell them to go so where are you sending them?  Are you spending most of your time talking about what you don’t want, or the behaviors you do want? Have you ever thought for just a minute, what are the things you are focusing your team on without even knowing it.  Are you making them guess what’s import...

8. The 2 Two-Word Sentences That Always Propel You Forward

Some people never get past winning, and some people never get past failing. No one likes to hear the same story over and over about how somebody did one thing and never anything else.  There are those who fail at something and like their life will never move forward because of it.  The interesting thing is that you can use the same for both in order to move forward to create and accomplish other things.  Once you learn how to propel forward, you won’t have to worry about what are you going to...

7. The Behavior Behind the Behavior

Get ready to put your spidey senses to the test.  As a leader I’m going to guess the thing that frustrates you the most about people, is not really the people but the behaviors of the people.  If you could wave a magic wand , what behaviors would you get them to stop doing, and what behaviors would you get them to start doing??   So, am I asking you to be the next Dr. Phil?  No…..no need to drop out of business school and get a psychology degree.  Over a period of time, you see normal behavio...

6. Your Culture Level Will Always Exceed Your Execution Level

There’s no mediocrity in a championship locker room.  Your level of Culture will exceed your level of Execution.  You know what bad Cultures look and feel like.  How can you, as the Leader, set the right BEHAVIOR expectations, not just work expectations?  Not only do you have to set the Culture and live the Culture, you have to protect the Culture.  Once your Culture is strong, then you can really execute at a consistent level. How can you keep your team working at a high Culture level like a...

5. Entrepreneurship VS Corporate Leadership…….who is the better leader?

The age old question in leadership is are the entrepreneurs better leaders or those in corporate or established company leaders?  Which group brings the best skills to the job?  In 1980, my parents did it.  They left normal jobs and started a business they never worked in.  My journey in leadership was on the traditional side of leadership so it was much different for me.  I’m not sure I would take the same risks.  I also can’t ask them about how they knew what to do since they have both pass...

4. Part Three Vision Mission Strategy

In part 3 of this series, we discover what creates a great Vision.  A Vision you can be passionate about.  You’ve seen or heard the motivational saying: “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail.”  Well…..probably just about everything if you knew you could NOT fail. Where’s the courage in that??  If you are super serious about creating something special for yourself, it takes courage and risk and most of all….an unwavering mindset.  What would you attempt to do if you knew...

3. Part Two Vision Mission Strategy

It’s time to put your thoughts into action!  Using the Vision you created ( a dream with a purpose), we create a  Mission Statement to determine what you stand for.  Having strong beliefs is important, but they will just be a great idea until you put them into action!  That’s where a great Strategy comes in.  Your Strategy is your execution plan through daily behaviors and decisions to turn your thoughts, dreams and hopes, into reality.  Don’t miss part two!  If you haven’t listened to part o...

2. Part One Vision Mission Strategy

No matter what you are trying to achieve, you need a plan.  Whether you're striking out on your own as an entrepreneur, wanting to advice in your current company, or wanting something personal.......becoming a body builder, a pilot, or maybe it's time to write that book you've had in your head for years.  Don't wish for success, plan for it!

Ep. 15 Unconscious Biases and Blind spots.

Cloning yourself might sound like a great way of getting more things done.  Maybe that would work for getting the laundry done or mowing the grass.  But if you're building your team, the last thing you want to do is surround yourself with people just like yourself.  In order to know the difference, you have to learn about yourself.  What you're good at, what you're not good at.  You need to have others on your team that do not think just like you. While the team is working toward the same go...

Being an influential leader is what most leaders aspire to and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. You want to be effective, build teams and accomplish goals.  However, the ultimate gift of leadership is creating other leaders.  What are you leaving behind?  What will your legacy be without helping others to pick up where you left off?  Creating Legacy Leaders will require a different level from you.  First, you have to build trust with your team and building trust can take just secon...
